Mr Barrow. Der Sir I drop you a few lines informing you of my health. I am surrow to inform you that my health is so bad. I have not been able to attend to any business sence. I rote to you. I have been trying to hire a man to helpe me out but I cant get no one. I think you had better get you a nother man. for I cant do you justis but I am sorrow to say it I thought when I rote to you before that I was getting well but is was a misstake. I am getting along pretty well with my work tho I have been sick. I am up with my ploughing and clearing up. I have got my fencing to do yet. Wesley ames to start home in a bout 10 or 12 days they will finish two roomes by muday night. I would be glad you would come down as soon as you can and bring a man with you. for I cant attend to your business. so nothing more at the present. but remains your tru frind.
